This Texas primrose plant is great in containers where good drainage is ensured, but is also a great garden plant as long as well-drained soil is available. It is a very heat tolerant flowering plant material and performs exceptionally well among drought tolerant annual flowers in the landscapes. This radiant blooms create cheerful yellow flowers for sunny gardens, especially in hot regions where many plants struggle.

Plant in containers or well-drained landscape beds. Once plants are established in the landscape, this Texas primrose plants shouldn't need much care. The best performance is provided by soil kept on the dry side. Overwatering is the most likely problem you'll have with these plants, which naturally perform like many drought tolerant annual flowers.

Do not treat them too well and they'll be happy campers. This is not a heat tolerant flowering plant that needs a lot of plant food. For plants in the landscape a dose of controlled release plant food at planting will usually be sufficient. If you live in a climate with a very long summer, reapplying after 3 or 4 months may be beneficial.

For plants in containers, a dose of controlled release plant food at planting time is also recommended. However, reapplication of plant food is more likely to be needed in containers. Monitor your plant and reapply if the plant looks to be tired or if the foliage seems too light. 

A water soluble plant food can add instant energy if you notice that your plants seem to be struggling. A water soluble plant food application to quickly increase energy, followed by a controlled release application of plant food will keep your plants happy for months and support more yellow primrose flowers.

If your planting gets a bit open or straggly looking, you can use a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears to trim it back.  Look to take no more than 1/3 the volume of the plant. I usually follow a trim, with an application of water soluble plant food. The plant food/trim combination will stimulate new growth and branching and after a week or two to recover will result in a better branched and more floriferous plant with more yellow primrose flowers and bright yellow flowers for sunny gardens. In long season climates, trimming more than once can be beneficial.
